After an impressive week has passed, another follows with a fine array of midweek gigs and Getintothis’ Simon Kirk has the details.

No sooner has an impressive week has passed then another is upon us. Particularly in the interest of midweek gigs.

Last week produced some absolute belters on the gig circuit, with Crack Cloud and Tropical Fuck Storm rolling through the city and making it their own last Tuesday night. Where the latter was concerned, it was one of the finest representations of rock music this writer has witnessed in quite some time.

This week boasts an equally impressive line-up of acts and again, it feels as if the main points of concern are during the week, which means there’s no excuse for ditching gigs in favour of weekend rambles in North Wales. You can do both!

There’s a brilliant mix of up and coming local acts, International talent and, of course, a bit of nostalgia for those seeking past glories.

So, enjoy the sun, but not too much. Get a balance of the better weather by enjoying some live music. Combined with the sun, it’s good for the soul.

Manchester’s A Certain Ratio play Jac’ Phase One in celebration of their 40th anniversary.

Having just released their compilation ACR: BOX, which also contains reworking’s of past material, this one is surely the nostalgic gig of the week.
